Alright, I'm on a roll. Here are three more mind-blowing Lenten cooking facts

Raw mushrooms taste like nothing, but dry them and they become bacon 🍄 Slice mushrooms thin, dry them in the oven at a low temperature, then fry with smoked paprika and soy sauce. They turn crispy, savory. Real mushroom bacon🥓

Potato starch makes cheese out of cashews 🧀 Blend soaked cashews with water, lemon juice, garlic, and a spoon of potato starch. Heat it up – the starch thickens and stretches like real melted cheese. Perfect for pizza😋

Black salt tastes exactly like eggs 🥚 It's called kala namak. It has sulfur in it. Sprinkle it on tofu scramble or cold tomato slices, and your brain will swear you're eating real boiled eggs. No joke🍳
